Figure 6

MHC locus. Illustration of MAGMA on a non-contrived problem. The scale at the top is number in base pairs relative to an arbitrarily designated beginning of part of the human MHC region. This locus is flanked by large gaps without known SNPs, so is a natural span for input to MAGMA. The library consists of 382 SNPs of varying quality. SNPs are indicated by black vertical lines; quality is proportional to the length of the lines. The colors of the bars indicate departure from a user-defined SNP influence radius, in this case, 6000 bp; red areas have sparser coverage while blue areas are more densely covered. The number of solutions displayed (in this case, the best f1 and f2, and two others) can be set by the user. "Heur" indicates the solution seeded by the heuristic. Numbers to the right indicate the value of each objective function for the solution, as well as the number of SNPs in the solution.
